LENS BREAKDOWN : WHISTLE , The fun part of having 6 weeks of prep is that there is a time to dissect the movie and analyse it so we can figure out the best way to tell the story visually and support the character at the same time , I found 3 visual ways to tell the story. *1. The lens that will telI the story (@vantagebrussels : V-lite Hawk) we shot mostly at T 2.8-4. *2. I also wanted to give some visual differences on all our death Characters close ups @angenieuxlenses ( 50mm M1) which we used wide open T1 to help make it feel that the character different and alienated, I don’t like to shoot wide open but in this case it made sense. It had to feel different from all the rest. *3. I also wanted the sound of the whistle to be visually unique , we used a prototype lens @tokina_global 40mm from @sunbeltrentals , all the softness of smears are from the optic itself , we did NOT enhance anything in post. We also used a zoom 42 -440, periscope system and the V plus zoom , all the highspeed scenes were shot on @zeisscinematography master prime ( basketball / bathtub scene ) . A big thank you to Adam Quinn for all the time and effort during testing and shooting.

"SAS ROGUE HEROES" season 3 just wrapped a few days ago. Directed by @stephenwoolfenden , it's the second season shot with Hawk Class-X 2.0x Anamorphic primes and zoom lenses, selected by (DOP) @stijnvanderveken1 (ASC, SBC). Thank you Stijn for this great new job which took you away from home for the last 8 months. It was an honour servicing you again on this new great TV show. The Class-X 55 macro became your new "HERO lens" and you also extensively use the 80-180 Class-X zoom lens, by night (opening at T:2.8, wider than long primes)... A new discovery as you told us, also perfectly matching the primes for its look and definition, at all focal lengths 1307 slates, 70 shoot days, and a total of 227 Codex cards recorded on @ARRI Alexa 35's. Thanks also to @ac.the.ac for the set pictures. Aaron was "A" camera 2nd AC on this season, as well as previous one. A cam was operated by Christopher Reynolds, and focused by Richard Brierley B cam was operated by Bob Shipsey, and, for a few days shot in Belgium, @jellehectors was focus pulling on set, assisted by Samuel De Beer, Rhomi Martens, and Frances O Connelly We sincerely hope to meet you all again for the next season 👏✅🆒 And of course we are all eager to discover these new adventures on BBC screen late 2026 @vantagefilmfrance @vantagefilmpraha @vantagefilmofficial @vantagevisionbudapest @hawkanamorphic @hawklondon @hawklosangeles @psu_videoassist
